I haven't seen the 2005 Mass Elec Code available yet. So I called MECA today and they said it is being printed now and won't be out for a couple of weeks.
So I wonder when I am suppose to do my installations according to the 2005 code if it isn't available yet?
When do the inspectors in the State start enforcing the new code?

In my area any permit pulled before the first of the year is inspected by that years
codes.
Joe...do you have a copy of the approved ammendments to the 2005 NEC by the State of Massachusetts?
I need to have a copy of the ammendments if I am to comply with the changes as I start new jobs in the new year.

Yes, I have a copy. The Statehouse Bookstore should have them available too. You may be able to order a copy on line.

Joe...thankyou for your feedback.I'll try to get a copy for myself at the Statehouse Bookstore.
According to the post about rule 7,we must go by the new codes as of Janruary 1st, 2005
thanx, shortcircuit
You'd think there would be some effort (there is currently none at all) to make this public and readily available. Not in this screwed up state.
Here is the information, search for the 2005 Massachusetts Amendments

But only if you can spell it! Man, I'm glad I live in Utah!
I called the State Bookstore last Friday and they told me I couldn't buy a copy of the amendments till Monday (1-3-05)
I called MECA and they said the Mass Code Books are at the print shop and won't be out for 2 weeks.
I found out that the first 15 hour code review class is on Janruary 22nd and 23rd. So I'll wait till then cause Leo always has a copy for his students!
Mass-achu-setts...3 syl-la-bles...as difficult to spell as is to get the code a-mend-ments.

I ordered the NEC and the MA ammendments on the 31st. They came today. Where is that code class?
